As a church in the relatively new and growing denomination commonly called "The Vineyard", we hold to values and beliefs that are common across the board with many better-known traditions and expressions of Christian faith. Sometimes it helps to try to bridge the gap of understanding by using terms that are culturally understood. In an effort to do such a thing, a term that we use to describe ourselves is "Empowered Evangelicals".

We see ourselves as aligned with the Protestant tradition as it has been expressed commonly in the Evangelical world. Included in this is a firm belief in the infallibility and authority of scripture, relationally centered evangelism, and discipleship training that equips people to live, minister, and live as faithful and devoted followers of Christ.

Included in the "Empowered" part of the term is a faith and trust in the power of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives and corporate experience. We rely on the gifts of the Spirit to empower us to do the work of the church, build our community up and to grow in maturity as followers of Jesus.

We believe that the Gospels give us a blueprint of the life and ministry of Jesus. We also believe that Jesus passed on that mission to His church, with the Gift of the Holy Spirit to equip us to be His agents in the world.
